How owners of paid-media will decide "who will get credit AAP or BJP" on april-1 gas price issue? And how paid-media use this issue to blackmail BJP-leaders.

Congress-leaders are soon going to announce doubling of gas prices on 1-april-2014. As expected, AK will do dharana anshan on it. Now if BJP-leaders dont do dharana-anshan on it, then paid-media can rightly or wrongly project BJP-leaders as agents of Mukesh Ambani. And if BJP-leaders do dharana anshan on it, then also paid-media can again accuse BJP-leaders of trying to copy and steal issues raised by AK, and give credit to AK. And with very likelihood, RaGa will also do dharana anshan on gas-price issue.

And if Central Govt postpones gas-price, then again, it is paid-media which will decide who gets credit for the postponing of gas price rise.

All in all, voting has become a useless exercise because paid-media is deciding who gets credit for who on which issue.

We should speculate on why Congress leaders announced 1-april-2014 as gas price rise date some year back. Congress knew back then that 1-april-2014 will be election time. Congress leaders could announced gas price rise date as 1-july-2014 or not announce any date and leave it on next govt. And why did BJP-leaders opposed gas price rise in a very low tone only? Didnt the BJP-leaders know that 1-april-2014 is the worst date for such a rise?

The solution I propose to this paid-media mess is given is chap-10 of rahulmehta . com/301.htm . Short term solution is that activists should STOP donating money to parties, NGOs, temples etc and give money to groups who are giving relevant information as paid advt in newspapers. And long term solution is right to recall Doordarshan chairman. As per gas price, solution is more players and more competition. How can that be done? I will publish the draft I have proposed to increase competition in Indian economy later.
